[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7845560, member: 6802378"] Some time I imagine a new martial maneuver with an effect like the jump spell to be used by little humanoids (halflings or gnomes) against giants and large or huge enemies. Other martial maneuver would be a spell-like effect like boomerangs, with little and light throwing weapons as surikens or knives. Have you tried a combat between a spear, or a spiked chain against a knife? You may be very fast but usually the longer weapon can attack first most of times.... but when the enemy would rather throwing weapons as daggers or axes. Usually somebody who can live for more hundred years has enough time to train with weapons as slings, or with atlatl(spear-throwers), or a Swiss arrow, thrown without bow. In the battlefield the poison wasn't used because they would need industrial qualities, but in a dungeon defenders can allow themself because the idea is almost never will be spent. Some time to spend money to get poisoned arrows against giants is cheaper than losing squads. And even giants could face with big beasts whose rider is a little humanoid as a gnome. In fantasy worlds lots of beasts would be used in the warfare as cheaper cannon fodder because magic with mind-affecting effects can help to train and tame savage animals. Let's imagine in the battle harmless illusory runes appear on the chest of the enemies, only to be marked as target by trained beasts as bulls or even mammoths. [/QUOTE]
